Maybe it's not completely fair to judge his intelligence based on only one interview. Especially in the NFL where recruiting isn't a factor, I think it's possible to be kind of gruff or not that personable and still be a good coach.

But yeah, he didn't come off as being very charismatic or very prepared for the questions they were going to ask him.

This interviewer is aggressive and entitled. I couldn't stand more than a minute before turning it off. We have no idea what the coach is or isn't thinking because the interviewer is too busy talking and trying to force Tomsula to answer questions he doesn't want to answer.

I am guessing, though, that the SF GM is a lot like David Brandon. He didn't want a football coach; he wanted a sock puppet.

Wasn't as bad as I imagined. He just wasn't prepared at all and seemed to be leery of trap questions. He's not a good speaker... sometimes says too much and sometimes says too little. In addition, he also had no chemistry with that interviewer, who was way too fast for him. They didn't click at all and the interviewer was trying to make him look like a dunce.

WTF was up with Ira insinuating that Tomasula was the locker room "leak" that Harbaugh was losing his players so he could get the job. That was maybe the dumbest thing I've heard Ira say then he goes on to say "I don't have any inside information." Why say that in the first place.

So I went through his background on this guy and the results are embarrassingly weak.

He spent the last 8 seasons as the 9ers DL coach with a game as their interim coach in 2007. Before that he spent In 2006 as the head coach for the Rhein Fire. In 2004-05 he was the DC for the Berlin Thunder. From 1999-2003 he was the DL coach for the Scottish Claymores. In 1998 he was the DL coach for the England Monarchs.

If I was a 9ers fan I would be pissed. This hire is worth a boycott. If the 9ers win 5 games next season it will be a miracle. Jed York must have gone to the Dave Brandon School of Sports Management.

At first I thought Pitt had to be working from a script, but then it became clear during the Ross and Rachel bit that he was completely caught off guard. He was so uncomfortable and that was an absolutely epic troll for the ages by ZG.

Tomsula is exactly what the 49ers brass wants: A yes man who will not say a thing to the media. His management will dictate assistants, players, and strategy to him, and he will coach his butt off to reach 6-10.

Niners prioritize profit over wins. They want the cheapest coaches and players to offset the debacle of a stadium they built.

I still do not know why we are attacking the man who "pushed Harbaugh out of San Fran"? We probably would be talking about our third or fourth option as Michigan Head Coach if Harbaugh was not " pushed out".

As I was watching that video, I had tears coming down my eyes from the uncontrollable laughter. This guy comes off like a complete moron and you could tell the guy interviewing him was annoyed with Tomsula and seemed pretty unimpressed by the hire, he probably wanted to smack him upside the head.

49ers will be hard pressed to be a .500 team next year despite the talent they have, York and Baalke must be 2 of the biggest idiots in sports management, trully pathetic and I feel badly for one of my best bros, he's a huge Niners fan.

I'm a Niner fan and I like Tomsula, it's even possible he's a good HC, but how do we know that? I'm a much bigger Michigan fan and I was glad Niners pushed Harbaugh out so Michigan could hire him, but I was confident we'd get a big name hire! Instead we push out a great coach, pass over Fangio who is a great DC to promote our DL coach? wtf?

And I was just getting used to winning again. See if they can beat the Raiders this year. At least Del Rio has coached. The Raiders, as a black hole of failed coaches , could not expect a home run and they did much better than the 9rs, who are only a good coach away from a great team. Haven't been to Levis stadium yet, but looks like there will be lots of good tickets available soon.
